Certification: Changes to the A+ Certification
Emmett Dulaney
A number of noteworthy changes have been announced to one of the most popular certifications currently in the IT industry: A+. So popular is this certification that there are currently more than 600,000 individuals certified worldwide. This entry-level, vendor-neutral certification is almost a necessity for anyone wanting to enter the field and work with hardware. Given the evolving nature of computer components, there is a need to update the exams for this certification every two to four years (the last update was in 2003), and there is nothing surprising about that. What is surprising, however, is the massive changes to the program that CompTIA has undertaken.

Review: Evaluating SarCheck 6.01 for Linux
Emmett Dulaney
One of the great things about the Linux operating system is that it has a tool for practically everything. Anything you want to know can be ascertained as long as you have the talent to memorize some arcane commands and understand how to pipe them together while selectively cutting and pasting from multiple sets of output. Linux vendors try to make their high-end offerings stand out from other implementations by adding all-in-one administration tools that reduce complex actions to a few point-and-click operations. Those vendors, however, are missing a very important operation – system analysis and recommendations based on usage, load, and related variables. That is where SarCheck comes in.
